Had a MSI Nvidia TI4200 sitting around that half worked so cut out the GPU and made a keychain.

Cut it out of vid card, drilled a small hole and used parts from an other keychain.

did you take the pins out or leave them in for nostalgia?

Thers no pins. I used the outline of the top for an x-acto blade and I cut it by hand. The other side has the red pcb with some little chips and such.

I saw it done with a proc once so not really an original idea. Only difference was that I cut it right off a graphics card and required a bit more work then just drilling a hole in a CPU. :)

GPUs are BGA, so there isn’t any pins on them anyway just balled soldering points.

It would be hard to remove, takes special equipment to solder them and it is impossible to inspect your joints for IPC standards without an x-ray machine.
